Expert Answer

Fancy rats and wild rats differ greatly, such as in daily routine, size, and lifespan.

Being domesticated, fancy rats are mainly active during the day, while wild rats usually rest by day and come out at night. Fancy rats are generally smaller and live shorter lives.

Also, after long domestication, fancy rats are smarter and more attuned to people than ordinary rats.
